    I tend to snack a TON at work LOL....It's all veggies and fruit and crap, like right now...sliced cucumber.

    But I've got a bag of popcorn on standby and my actual "meal" still in the freezer....don't think I'll get to it though because I had a salad earlier.

    I hate snacking here, since all I do is sit at a desk!

    I turn my designated breaks into small meal times, and my lunch hour as dinner.

    In my food diary, lunch is usually 9:30 pm, dinner is midnight, and snacks are 4am.

    I know the pain. Shift starts at 11pm and ends at 7. I never know when to eat

    Saturday-Tuesday.

    That is a tough schedule!

    I'm 12a-8a Monday-Friday....which means my Saturday is shot for the most part.

    Oh dang that makes my shift sound like a breeze. I'm 9:30p-6a except for Sundays which is 7:30-6a. Except I also work 7a-3p shifts too which blow waaaay more than the night shifts.

    I was thinking about getting a second job during the day.
    At least until school starts.
    I want one at like, Rue 21, just for the employee discount. :D

    I've done that before....worked at Gamestop from 2pm-9pm after doing the 12-8a thing.

    THAT sucked hard. But needed the cash

    Yeah it is not bad. I have been working up my endurance and stamina ... and just take it in 1 hour chunks at a time ... and *try* to reach like 4 hours.

    Just consider a day as wake up to wake up.
    That's what I do. [:
